That video appears to be computer generated click-bait. I've never heard so many words used to say nothing.

The flight was a success because it accomplished the flight as planned and returned everyone safely.

I've been critical of the concept from the beginning though, because going up 60 miles and then returning is not really most people's conception of "going to space", or "being an astronaut".

If Katy was paid to make the trip, then she has a fiduciary responsibility to express the experience in a positive light. Heck, if I just got a free ride I'd have something good to say.
